OFA-OH Volunteers To Come Together in Avondale to Send Congress a Message About Gun Violence Prevention

Cincinnati, OH – This Wednesday, August 21, 2013, OFA-OH volunteers and supporters will continue the fight for gun violence prevention legislation. We will be gathering together and using art to convey our message. With sidewalk chalk, we will be drawing on the sidewalks of a neighborhood stricken with gun violence, Avondale, in an effort to “Cover the Bloodshed”. Using positive, uplifting pictures and words, we aim to show the message that our Representatives in Washington need to act now. Across the country, Americans continue to call on Congress to act on behalf of the majority of Americans that support expanded background checks instead of with the gun lobby that only wants to maintain the status quo.

OFA-OH’s Gun Violence Prevention rally will send a clear message to Congress that Americans are still united in support for action and will be heard. Congress needs to take note: America is speaking and it’s time for Congress to listen.
